Greetings. Welcome to the game, it has improved a lot since its launch, and currently offers a lot of fun to fans of the Star Wars universe (as complicated as it has gotten recently). Cheers !

Yes, and channeling an AoE skill is rocket science. The fact that smash based build have a simpler mechanic does not make them overpowered, unless you're inferring that all other classes are so difficult to play in comparison that they're impossible to handle by the average gamer (and we're not talking about playing "perfectly", as only a small percentage of the actual player base reaches such proficiency).

Still, the IP allowed for such hype that the game had over 1 M subscribers at one point, so it wasn't that unfamiliar among the MMORPG player base. This is what's tragic - that a game which had over 1M paying players at one point got closed 5 years later. I've played Warhammer Online on and off for about 1 year, and at least half a year from the very beginning (pre-order, early access etc). I still do not understand how could they make so many simple mistakes. For example, they created about 24 scenario maps, each of them really decent, but if you played the game from the beginning, you never could play more than 3-6 of them in rotation. Some were level tier exclusive, some required certain instances to be open, other were situational/seasonal. And don't get me started on the mechanism of choosing the scenario to pop = after the drastic server populations declines all we had on the Aralielle server we're Serpent's Passage pops for 3-6 months straight !! All this time they could make a giant random scenario pool with 24 different scenarios to play for everyone, and instead they lost subscribers by the numbers because they were playing the same 1-3 scenarios to the brink of apathy

The BigBadWolf.... not so bad after all, eh ? It makes me all warm and fuzzy what you did there. Hope your deed will come back to ya

Vote for more sandbox features - like additions to crafting, housing, world open pvp, spacefaring and whatnot.

Thanks for the answers

Abilities like taunt and intimidating roar work different against monsters than players. It is possible to lower damage enemies deal to friendlies by using them, if that is your question - you also get points of "protection" in a warzone for this.

Hhigher max dmg of lightsabers means higher max and critical hits. Higher minimum damage means higher minimal hits but lower max hits. The median and averages stay at a very similar level.

It's all about the gear, mate. As you gear up you'll reach the 22,5k + margins at tier 2 and above.

Does anyone know the answer to my question ?

Not needed for reasons I've stated already on this forum.

In my opinion it's not a valid concern. Those are two different mechanics, PVP and PVE. One participating in any of these facets of the game agrees that there are certain rules to it. Nobody always wipes in PVE, as there are no players in PVP that always lose. Probably the time needed to be spent to acquire War Hero/Campaign gear, assuming a statistical probability of success (be it in warzones or raids), would go in favour of PVE at the moment. Furthermore, as more as you progress in each of the tiers, the higher are your chances of success (even moreso in PVE, where most bosses up to Campaign tier can be powered through). I really think getting over the possibility that a PVP "loser" gets "free epics" is not a big sacrifice for getting rid of this artificial and problematic gear separation.

I'm wondering - why not just make highest tier PVP gear equal to highest tier PVE gear? That way no PVP'er will complain that the best gear for PVP is gained through PVP.

I don't really understand one aspect here - if expertise gets removed, and highest tier PVP and PVE gear shall have similar stats (like in, e.g. Warhammer Online), won't the PVE geared player have just equal chances in PVP to the PVP geared players ? Furthermore, such a player (at least in opinion of the majority) should lack in skill and experience in PVP, so he/she will still lose ? What's there to worry about? Sense of entitlement/exclusivity to PVP?

Can the Shock Viper or Chopper be reverse engineered and crafted? So as to add augment slots ?
